Apium Cicutifolia

Wild celery, scientifically known as Apium cicutifolia, is a hardy perennial plant native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It is often mistaken for its more familiar relative, garden parsley, but possesses a distinct appearance and strong, pungent aroma. Growing up to two meters tall, it features hollow, ribbed stems and fern-like, deeply lobed leaves. The plant is also known for its edible seeds and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Its resilience and unique characteristics make it a notable species in both ecological and culinary contexts.
